The black-haired teenager was shocked that he saw a golden-colored screen appear in front of him. But what frightened him the most was when the golden-colored screen called itself the "Hero" System and when that system called him the "Chosen One".
"No! I don't want to be the chosen one! I don't want to be a hero!"
The black-haired teenager hysterically yelled as he pointed his finger toward the golden-colored screen.
The black-haired teenager's actions annoyed the adult hunter.
"Tch! It was my bad luck that I couldn't eat rabbit meat for dinner so I could only "eat" her. Now, I am met with a mentally challenged teenager?"
"What sin had I committed in my past life to experience such misfortune?"
When the hunter complained that as he talked to himself, he angrily lashed out at the mentally challenged teen.
"Oi kid! I don't care if you are seeing and hearing things or not! But, can you fucking please get out of this place as I am busy here! Go disturb other people but not me!"
The hunter's furious words snapped the teenager from his hysteria.
But before the teenager could apologize and flee from the scene, another golden-colored screen appeared in front of him as a notification sound rang in his ear.
-Ding!
[The chosen one has received a heroic quest!]
[Quest: Vanquish Sigurd the Unlawful Hunter!]
[Quest Description: Sigurd the Unlawful Hunter had committed countless crimes. As the heroic chosen one, you can never allow such an unlawful being to escape with their lives!]
[Reward/s: Holy Sword Of Valor, Rabbit Tribe's Favor]
With shaky eyes, Simon forced himself to read all of the text on the system screen.
Simon Jordan was summoned to Fantasia as a hero with his class. And since he was formerly from planet earth, he knew about the concepts of systems and such.
Because of that, Simon knew that the golden-colored screen in front of him was his system.
To be honest, he would have rejoiced if he received a system that would allow him to have an edge against his classmates. After all, no one would reject free power.
But, Simon had a traumatic experience after he was summoned into this world as a hero.
Every hero that was summoned to this world would have a cheat skill that made them unique compared to other heroes.
Simon's classmates were the Sword Hero, Spear Hero, Bow Hero, Shield Hero, Book Hero, Magic Hero, etc.
Of course, Simon wasn't a trash defect of a hero who didn't receive a cheat skill. In fact, what gave him the traumatic experience of being a hero was due to his cheat skill.
His cheat skill was known as Reincarnator's Recollection. That cheat skill allows him to recall the memories of his past lives. Because of that cheat skill, Simon was titled as the Reincarnation Hero.
Simon had received the memories of countless past lives of his. Whether it was memories of him learning various magic or forging artifacts and weapons, he received the knowledge and memories of his past lives.
But that came with the price. He also remembered what sufferings he had in his past life.
By a twist of fate, all of his past lives were heroes. And in his past lives, he experienced the horrors of being a hero.
In one of his past life, he defeated the demon lord but what happened afterward was his princess lover betrayed him and executed him while accusing him that he was possessed by the dead demon lord. In truth, he knew that they were just making up excuses just to eliminate him who was stronger than a demon lord.
In another past life, he was used multiple times by the kingdom that summoned him while the corruption and crimes happening in the kingdom were blamed on him.
And in another past life, the little orphan girl that he had saved from the war was the daughter of the demon lord so he had no choice but to kill her.
Countless tragic experiences befall him and it was all because of being a hero.
Simon came to the conclusion that the existence of a hero was disdained by the world. Otherwise, why would he experience countless tragedies, and his hard work wasn't repaid?
After receiving the memories from his past life, Simon realized how naive he was. Even in this life, he had dreamed of becoming a hero to save those in need. But the memories of his past life were like cold buckets of water dropped on his head that awakened him from his delusions.
Realizing his naivety came with the price of being traumatized at the prospect of being a hero. Simon loathed his existence as he became a hero against his free will.
Simon also had a crush towards the princess of the kingdom that summoned him and his classmates but after knowing about the princess lovers he had in his past life that betrayed him, he knew that falling in love with the princess was like digging a grave for himself.
During training, Simon had to lock himself up in his room as he was deeply traumatized to become a killing machine raised by the kingdom. He knew that even after defeating the demon lord, he wouldn't be able to retire peacefully since the kingdom and even the goddess that summoned him and his classmates would eliminate them after they exhausted their use.
As much as Simon wanted to train and become strong enough to defy the kingdom and the goddess, he knew how unrealistic that dream was. After all, his powers was bestowed by the goddess.
Unless he experienced a miracle, he could never defeat the goddess no matter how powerful he became.
The only way to defeat the goddess was to use power that was outside the goddess' influence. But even Simon knew how unlikely it was to acquire foreign power so he was left with no choice but to go outside, touch grass, and attempt to recover from his trauma.
But… It just so happened that he acquired a system.
"System, can I really obtain those rewards if I complete the quest?"
